I bought this item because I have had great experience with ridged tools. I had purchased a shop vacuum 15 years earlier, it is in great shape but I needed to leave it at the lake property. So when I was looking for a new shop vacuum there was no question on which one I would choose. I was in the store and found this one and it went home with me. It has been great I just have to wipe it out when I am finished using it. It still shines in the corner of the garage.

My cheap small wet/dry vac motor blew and it was time to get a new wet/dry vac for work and house projects.I’ve used a few Rigid vacuums in the past owned by friends but never bought one myself, until now.Great power and attachments! Did I mention the motor comes off to be used as a blower?! Genius.The hose could be 2 feet longer but other than that it has some great features and good power as long as you keep the filter clean.

I was using a much smaller shop vac to do dudes around my shop. Thought I needed to upgrade to make my projects more feasible as far as cleanup and being able to hook up to other tools and get the maximum performance of sawdust removal. Man oh man am I glad I made this purchase! The power behind it is undeniable and gets the job done much quicker. Plus an added bonus you can purchase other accessories that make the job fit your cleaning needs. Spend the extra money and get what you want and get a job done and save time. Highly recommend it! I do wish the accessory ports on the base were more encased to house the extensions better, but not a deal breaker

I bought this about a month ago and it has exceeded my expectations. The power, suction and length of cord

Good shop vac with plenty of power. Hose larger than anticipated and sometimes hard to handle. Wheels need to be bigger so they don’t hang up so much on debris common to a work area.

This review is based on having for less than a year. I really like the Rigid Steel Wet Dry Vac with only 1 exception….the exhaust fan for the motor assembly is located beneath the handle. This is ok if not needing to grab the handle to move or pick up the vac while running. The hot air blows up to the handle and is too hot to hold for any more than a few seconds when the unit is on. This is the only reason to deduct 1 star. The good is that the suction is very good! Rolls around the garage and driveway flooring very well. Long power cord that is soft and flexible rather than the hardened rubber of other brands. Paxkaged very well. Just know that the screws for the handle are in the corner of the plastic bag wrap! Take ot from me. I couldn’t find the screws and wasn’t happy thinking the forgot to include them. However, their customwr support was awesome. I sent an email and within 2 hours had a response explaing where to find the screws within thebplastic packaging. They even supplied visual pictures of where on thebplastic I would find the screws! Luckily I hadn’t thrown away the packaging yet!

I bought this vac to replace my Shop-vac brand one which only lasted three and a half years of moderate use. Granted, it was a low-end one. So I decided to get a quality one with better warranty. This one has much more suction power, but is pretty loud. I use it most in my garage for woodworking and occasionally vacuum my cars with it. Included attachments are handy for everything I use it for.

Very pleased with my Ridgid 12 Gal. 6.0 HP NXT Wet/Dry Vac. This Vac is solid with good power. Love the detachable blower! Blower is quick and easy to use to clean out garage and clean wood working equipment.

I got this vacuum over Christmas. It is a great product and works well. The only thing they could add the adapter kit included.

I had to replace my old shop vac of 36 years. Sad to see it go, but this new one is a delight to use. I would highly recommend

i bought this to assist in dryer vent cleaning. It works awesome for me. Lots of power. Only issues i have is the hose is not very maneuverable and could be a little longer. Being stainless steel and using it for what I do, it produces alot of static electricity. So I am constantly getting shocked.

I brought the wet/dry vac a couple of months ago and it was very easy to use and very good suction.

This vac is very powerful, lightweight, and moderately quiet. I wish the top was larger to accommodate full disposable bag removal. The vac also needs hose storage, caster foot storage, side tank handles, and a better cord storage method.

I spend a fair amount of time researching shop vacs before purchasing this one. I am very pleased with my purchase. The unit it self seems very well made with high quality attachments. The hose is substantial, yet flexible. The power cord is long wraps easily.This vac performs very well and has more than enough power.Very pleased with my purchase and I highly recommend this vac.

I purchased a wet/dry blower from Ridgid several years ago. Whenever I have had an issue with it Ridgid has always taken care of me with no problems!! one of the few companies that really take care of their customer AND stand by their product!!! Thank you Ridgid!!!!!!

I bought this a few months ago and I absolutely love this thing. I did get a few extras like: 3rd extension, exhaust muffler, and angled end for cleaning the small corners. Everything looks in wonderfully, you will pull it over before you lose suction. The 6HP is plenty for any normal man and his garage/shop. The only thing I would change would be a better locking bottom contraption for the wheels and extras, fell off a few times. I love this little guy and even nick names it R2D2 just for fun.
